Research into colour for poster design


How can I relate colour to the ideas behind my poster?

After experimenting with different colour paper stocks, I definitely know that I want to print my index poster on coloured paper, and am torn between orange and green as these were the most picked up on in my crit feedback. I decided to justify these design decisions with research into their meaning so I can link my posters back to my overarching themes. 

The meaning of green in India 


I wanted to have a consistent reference to Indian cultures regarding the concept of the moustache, so looked into what green represented in India. Pretty ironically, it represents God, which is perfect for my Index Devil design as they are polar opposites which would add another layer of irony to my design. Due to this, I might paste up my index poster in a green paper stock.
